Green part of five-way tie for lead in DP Tour event
Green had six birdies and a bogey in his five-under-par 67 at Golfclub Munchen Eichenried on Thursday.
China's Ding Wenyi birdied four of his final five holes - to go with an eagle, another gain and two dropped shots - in his round while Dutchman Darius van Driel signed for six birdies and a bogey to reach the summit.
France's Ugo Coussaud produced the round of the day with his flawless 67, while Englishman Marco Penge carded eight birdies, a dropped shot and double bogey.
"This course is one that I've been looking forward to coming back to," Penge said. "Personally, I feel like for a long hitter there's quite a few big advantages.
"Quite a lot of tee-shots that you can gain a lot of strokes. It's nice to be at a golf course where you can kind of let it rip a bit. And coming from last week, last week was like the polar opposite. I was really looking forward to coming here.
"Getting a PGA Tour card is my biggest goal, my main goal for the season."
Eighteen players are within two shots of the leading quintet, with English trio Nathan Kimsey, Richard Mansell and Jordan Smith and Scotland's Scott Jamieson leading the chasing pack at four under.
The Scottish pair of Richie Ramsay and Grant Forrest head the 10-strong group at three under, however compatriot and defending champion Ewen Ferguson is at three over.
Jason Scrivener, David Micheluzzi and Daniel Gale are the best of the Australian contingent, all at even par.

Scottie Scheffler wins for 13th time in 18 months as final Australian dumped from PGA Tour playoffs
There will be no Australian presence in the PGA Tour's season-ending Tour Championship for the first time this century after Jason Day's final round collapse at the BMW Championship where Scottie Scheffler secured a staggering 13th win in the past 18 months. Only three Aussies made the playoffs, and only Day made it to the second event in Maryland after both Min Woo Lee and Cam Davis crashed out. But needing to climb into the top 30 on the FedEx Cup rankings to compete in the season-ending $40m event, Day crashed with a closing three-over 73 to finish tied for 23rd at the BMW and 44th on the rankings. He was 16 shots behind the almost unbeatable Scheffler, who won for an 18th time in just five full seasons on the tour, which he joined in 2020. It was his fifth win in 2025, adding to his two major triumphs at the British Open and the PGA Championship. The victory was Scheffler's staggering 13th in the past 18 months, a run that began at the Arnold Palmer Invitational in March 2024. It's a period of dominance only bettered by the likes of Tiger Woods in the history of the game. 'It's been a nice stretch the last few years and I've done some really good things,' Scheffler said modestly after his BMW win. 'It's nice to get the results from a lot of hard work. That's not something I think about day to day. I try to approach everything week by week, and when you really boil down to it, just day by day. 'This week was a good week. It was a battle all the way through, fortunate to be sitting here.' Scheffler, 29, hasn't finished lower than eighth in his past 13 events, winning five of them. He is already third on the all-time PGA Tour money winners list after being been rookie of the year in 2020, his first full season on the tour. The four-time major champion has won in excess of $150m and now trails only Rory McIlroy and Woods. Scheffler could moving within touching distance of McIlroy in second next week with a $15m first prize on offer at the Tour Championship in Atlanta. By comparison, Adam Scott has won just more than $107m in career earnings, the leading Australian on the PGA Tour list, but across 25 years.
